Manitou Island stands as a solitary landmass in the vast waters of Lake Superior off the tip of Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula. This 2019 survey illustrates the island's isolation and interior geography, most notably the presence of Perch Lake, a small body of water sequestered in the island's southern interior. The map documents the Public Land Survey System grid of t58n r26w, showing the division of this remote territory into numbered sections even in an area dominated by open water. The landscape is characterized by limited interior development, emphasizing the natural state of this Lake Superior outpost. The survey provides precise coordinates and topographical data for the island's shoreline and its singular inland lake, serving as a modern record of this detached piece of Keweenaw County.
